Ink
A raven flew in,
through an open door.
Black and blue wingspan
across my clean walls.
But my skin was a cage
the raven,
was never meant,
to see.
He splattered his ink,
in ugly patterns,
all over my white halls.
He plucked,
and peeled,
my flesh
from my bones.
And shattered
the only window
I left-
Intact.
